I've wondered why Iowa and the opinions of the citizens of the state are so important myself. For as long as I can remember the "Iowa Caucuses" were pivotal, but really, what does Iowa have as an advantage vs the rest of the nation to have that make them better to determine who should possibly run our nation?
I don't think they could use the logic that the real issues are in Iowa, that it's the heart of the nation. It's rather sparsely populated, and the morals and lifestyles are, more than likely, very different from say the East Coast or the Pacific Northwest or Florida. Why are they so important? I hope someone can enlighten us...

I still equate Iowa to Idiots Out Wandering Around...
